Exhaust Question - LotusTalk

scottyb · 08-22-2005, 12:55 PM

For those of you who have removed your stock CAT. Is there a gasket between the manifold and the CAT? I curious if my car was missing one.

I think there's a "doughnut" in there so it can move.

Yes, this 'donut' gasket may be stuck on the stock cat. You can pop it out. You need to use it otherwise you will have an exhaust leak and excessive noise! Call me if you are have questions installing the system.

I found the Donut. You were right, it was stuck in the stock CAT. All installed now. Not only is it lighter & better sounding, but it looks awesome.

Metal Frame with Vinyl Lettering. Got it on EBay quite some time ago. I think it was $15
